Me (briefly emerging from beneath a large heap of peals, and blinking 
in the un-accustomed sunlight):

The trouble with this scheme, for example, is a peal of 8 in F# with 
slightly squiffy tuning which might have to be described as F#, Ab, 
A#, B, Db, D#, F, Gb which doesn't make a lot of musical sense - it 
will offend or confuse musicians while conveying no more to non-
musicians than F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#, F#.
